Weekday dependence of German stock market returns
Herwartz, Helmut - 1999
The so-called 'Monday effect ' has been found for various stock markets of the world. The empirical finding that Monday returns are significantly smaller than returns measured for the remaining days of the week calls the efficiency hypothesis for pricing processes operating on stock markets into...

Efficient hedging : cost versus shortfall risk
Föllmer, Hans; Leukert, Peter - 1999
An investor faced with a contingent claim may eliminate risk by (super-)hedging in a financial market. As this is often quite expensive, we study partial hedges, which require less capital and reduce the risk. In a previous paper we determined quantile hedges which succeed with maximal...

Coherent risk measures, valuation bounds, and (my,p)-portfolio optimization
Jaschke, Stefan R.; Küchler, Uwe - 1999
This paper presents a general theory that works out the relation between coherent risk measures, valuation bounds, and … theory presented seems to fill a gap between arbitrage valuation on the one hand and single agent utility maximization or … full-fledged equilibrium theory on the other hand. "Coherent" valuation bounds strike a balance in that the bounds can be …

Please, marry me! : an experimental study of risking a joint venture
Güth, Werner; Ivanova-Stenzel, Radosveta; Tjotta, Sigve - 1999
Empirical studies in family economics usually rely on questionnaires, statistical or panel data. Here we try to study experimentally some crucial aspects of engaging in a marriage. First the female partner can end the relationship or suggest one of the two forms of joint venture. Whereas a full...

Semiparametric diffusion estimation and application to a stock market index
Härdle, Wolfgang; Kleinow, Torsten; Korostelev, … - 2001
The analysis of diffusion processes in financial models is crucially dependent on the form of the drift and diffusion coefficient functions. A methodology is proposed for estimating and testing coefficient functions for ergodic diffusions that are not directly observable. It is based on...

Modeling the interdependence of volatility and inter-transaction duration processes
Grammig, Joachim; Wellner, Marc - 1999
In this paper we motivate, specify and estimate a model in which the intra-day volatilty process affects the inter-transaction duration process and vice versa. In order to solve the estimation problems implied by this interdependent formulation, we first propose a GMM estimation procedure for...

Fractional cointegration and tests of present value models
Caporale, Guglielmo Maria; Gil-Alaña, Luis A. - 2000
This paper tests the validity of Present Value (PV) models of stock prices by employing a two-step strategy for testing the null hypothesis of no cointegration against alternatives which are fractionally cointegrated. Monte Carlo simulations are conducted to evaluate the power and size...

Semiparametric modelling of the cross-section of expected returns in the German stock market
Stehle, Richard; Bunke, Olaf; Sommerfeld, Volker - 1997
According to the Sharpe-Lintner capital asset pricing model, expected rates of return on individual stocks differ only because of their different levels of non-diversifiable risk (beta). However, Fama/French (1992) show that the two variables size and book-to-market ratio capture the...

Adaptive estimation for a time inhomogeneous stochastic-volatility model
Härdle, Wolfgang; Spokojnyj, Vladimir G.; Teyssière, … - 2000
Let a process SI , ... ,ST obey the conditionally heteroskedastic equation St = Vt Et whcrc Et is a random noise and Vt is the volatility coefficient which in turn obeys an autoregression type equation log v t = w + a S t- l + nt with an additional noise nt. We consider the situation which the...
